During the late morning of Sunday, August 11, we were visited by three egrets (known as "eommon" egrets and completely white). Smaller than the great blue heron, but not by much! They perched in the tops of the pines on the north end of the Island for a good half-hour. They then swooped down towards Presqu'Ile and returned to the Island and landed on the great rock on the shoreline facing Anne Est. Haven't seen an egret here for many years.
This evening (Thursday, the 13th) I am watching two adult beavers on the rocks at our end of Green Mountain's point.
Willie W. says that he saw a bald eagle recently at the Lake. This is the second sighting of the same, this year!
Seems to be more fish feeding than in past years, but that could be wishful thinking...
Residents on both sides of the Lake are reporting more evidence of spring peepers. If so, then the bass are hurting.
The moose are in poor condition because of ticks. I have seen moose droppings along Kirkpatrick, but no evidence of the same in my wanderings at the Lake.
Always on the lookout,
Bob
